Re: filtering bad recordings

Having listened to your sample, aside from *alot* of clipping, that
audio should reduce to 22kHz mono very nicely.  It's a nice clear
recording.

I did a quick declip/channel merge with postfish, downsample with sox
and encoded it with lame and it came out sounding fine-- at least as
good as the 'good' sample you referenced.

So... what are you actually doing?  Don't spare the details.  Are you
encoding as a stereo 24kbpbs file by accident?
